As much as we like to have many, many cars in our lifetime, sometimes dreams remain just that - dreams. Case in point is the Toyota GR Yaris - from RM 286k, it's a bit out of reach for most of us. But a Perodua Myvi though? It's something most Malaysians can afford, with the most expensive variant topping out at RM 52k.

The front is dead-on, but whether or not the real-world kit will have the aggressive side skirts and rear fascia remains to be seen. All we know so far is that it looks splendid.

We give you the in-and-out of the Vios GR Sport here, and what makes the GR Yaris so great here.

To recap, the Tommi Mäkinen-developed GR Yaris was recently launched in Malaysia alongside the Toyota Vios GR Sport. It's powered by a 1.6-litre, three-cylinder turbocharged mill pushing 261 PS and 360 Nm, mated to a six-speed manual.
